We spend the night this time just out of Tamworth. We have found a farm stay to break the journey and also for a change of scenery. The Sunrise Cutting Horse Farmstay at Neminga. The campground offers toilets showers and drinking water and is dog friendly, accessible to RV’s camper trailers and caravans on a nice grassy area. Low cost camping, Dawn meets you when you drive in and lets you park up anywhere in the grassed area, the horses come to the fence for a pat. We found this campground on Wiki camps.
A cutting horse is a stock horse, typically an American Quarter Horse, bred and trained for cutting, a modern equestrian competition requiring a horse and rider to separate a single cow from a herd of cattle and prevent it from getting back to the herd

We have the pleasure of stopping in and chatting with Rodger and Helen, fulltime travellers. Where we met them they have been parked up for 3 months. they had a boat in tow and Helen also carts around a spinning wheel so she can spin wool also on the road.

We have parked up for a week on the Murray River. We have found a great spot by the river and met some lovely people here. We chat with Rod. He is a regular visitor to the area and loves any opportunity to camp by the Murray River.
